Indonesian visa regulations

Immigration regulations with regard to tourism in the
Republic of Indonesia were last formally altered on March 21, 2016, and
the current state of affairs is summarized here below. Please be advised
that in order to enter Indonesia your international passport must be valid
for at least another six months on the day of arrival, and that an onward
or return ticket is compulsory.

If you are a national of one of the above 169 countries
or territories, then you will be issued free of charge upon arrival in
Indonesia with a non-extendable and inconvertible 30-day stay permit in
the form of an immigration stamp in your international passport. In order
to process your Visa Exemption Short Visit at the airport of your arrival,
proceed directly to the main immigration clearance counters set up before
the baggage claim area.

The Visa Exemption Short Visit is available at 29 airports,
88 seaports and seven land borders.

If you are a national of one of the above 67 countries,
then you can opt to purchase a Visa on Arrival which takes the form of
a sticker to be applied in your international passport and currently costs
USD 35 for a 30-day visa. The only sensible reason why you might opt for
the payable Visa on Arrival (as opposed to the free Visa Exemption Short
Visit outlined above) is that this can be extended once for another 30
days at immigration offices throughout Indonesia. In order to process
your Visa on Arrival at the airport of your arrival, first proceed to
the designated Visa on Arrival counters where the visa in question must
be purchased and will be applied in your international passport, then
proceed to the main immigration clearance counters set up before the baggage
claim area, where your immigration entry stamp will be applied.

Applying for visas at overseas diplomatic missions

Nationals of countries and territories not eligible to
enter the Republic of Indonesia under the Visa Exemption Short Visit or
Visa on Arrival facilities outlined above, must apply for a tourist visa
at one of the Indonesian diplomatic missions overseas. Please be advised
that visa processing ordinarily takes three working days, so plan well
ahead. At the Indonesian Embassy in Brussels, Belgium, a tourist visa
costs EUR 30 for a 30-day's stay or EUR 50 for 60 days. We are informed
that 60-day visas apparently are not readily issued everywhere and may
require a valid reason.
